Nice graffito on the right side of the arch. Story o' my life! ; )

It's the frame for an old thingamajiggit somethingorother watchamacallit doohickey, what did you think it was?

Motts: Where is this place? I googled "Roseville State School" and only came up with your site. Did the institution go by a different name?

One story I remember her telling me is that a lot of the patients used to have toys that they played with, like stuffed animals. Apparently at some point administration decided that toys like that were demeaning for the patients so one day they just went around taking all of the patients toys, many of whom where very upset. Besides that there were lots of stories of abuse, I remember one in particular about a patients arm being broken, unfortunatly lots of the people working there were very sadistic. From what i've heard, though, since the death in 2000 they've really turned the place around to the point where it's now considered one of the better facilities in the state.

Rusty water from the ceiling and cribs.

The lights were on; I try to leave the building as is, turning lights on and off isn't a good idea unless you want to see the place get sealed up tight in a few days.

I don't even know what to say about this shot

beautiful!!!

This shot reminds me of an old mental hospital they knocked down in the UK a few years ago in Leeds.

Any idea what it was?

absolutely! wonderful pic too!

so you sell copies of your pictures? I want this one ! I absolutely love this shot! Please let me know.

OMG, another place with the lights still working? I dont understand,..... who pays the bill ? Was the light on when you got there, or did you try the switch?

I wonder what that room smells like... On second thought, I don't wanna know . LOL

An incredible sadness eminates from this room. Chills up and down the spine.

Wonderful composition Motts! Light at the end of the tunnel and interesting colors inbetween.
